The cultural landscape is a setting for human experience. It may be a scenic view or the countryside; it may be an urban street or square, or it may be your everyday neighbourhood; but it is always imbued with history and meaning.
Cultural landscape research is interested in place and all the processes that engender sense of place. My interest focuses on cultural interpretations of landscape character, management of valued landscapes, and the influences on significant Australian designers. It includes
The history of street and roadside avenues in Australia,
Profiles of Australian landscape designers,
Community design in rural Australia,
Revealing inconsistencies about Australian landscape values,
Interpreting Queensland Cultural Landscapes as CONTESTED TERRAINS,
Cultural pluralism in designed places,
Landscapes of migration.
